Reach for a Dream is an organisation very close to my heart and the work they do is incredible – helping to fulfil the dreams of children with life threatening illnesses. Heidi Rowley is a good friend of the show and is the Head of Fundraising Reach for a Dream:

For children who have been diagnosed as having a life-threatening illness, the magic of childhood may be lost in the emotional, physical and financial strain of dealing with their illness.

 

Ezekiel and his mom joined us for a chat

 

Ezekiel is 13 years old and lives in Worcester. He is quite talkative, but shy around unfamiliar people, with a reserved personality. He has never been to Spur and would love to go one day. He has always wanted to be a soccer player, but cannot play due to his illness – he has a condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Together with Reach for A Dream we were able to help make some his dreams come true.
